Ruqyah by repeating the names of Allah the Most Beautiful a specific number of times
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: There are those who treat people with ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). When a patient comes to them, they order him to repeat certain dhikr (remembrance of Allah) or du'a' (supplications) a specific number of times. Some of them use the repetition of the names of Allah the Most Beautiful. So when a patient comes complaining about his ear, they say, "Repeat the name al-Sami' (the All-Hearing)." When he comes complaining about his eyesight, they say, "Repeat the name al-Basir (the All-Seeing)," and so on.
Answer:
There is no evidence for this. Ruqyah is not done this way. In ruqyah, one recites from the Qur'an for the patient. Surat al-Fatihah is the greatest thing in ruqyah. One recites Surat al-Fatihah and blows on the patient at the site of the ailment. One recites Surat al-Ikhlas and the two Mu'awwidhat (chapters of protection) and recites whatever is easy of the verses that contain du'a' to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). As for saying, "Do such and such a number of times," this has no basis and no evidence for it.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
